Once again discipler demonstrates his/her misunderstanding of the concept of 'nothing', this time citing it as the origin of evolutionary processes, according to his understanding of his opponents' non-creationist theories..
His use of the word 'nothing' in this instance is incorrect, and I believe that what he refers to is the state of the universe at that point in time about which we have no evidence nor concept, which semantically approximates to 'nothing' in our everyday experience and use fo the word.
Obviously it was not 'nothing' from which the universe, and ultimately ourselves emerged; as a non-creationist, I propose that it is more useful and honest to say that at this point in time, everything still existed, but not in the form that it did after that time.
You may label this time and process 'God', but that really tells us nothing more about it. It remains largely unknowable. Putting the God sticker on it just advertises that you are not comfortable with the idea that there are aspects of existence and yourself that your mind cannot understand.
A bit like me, trying to code floats and margins to look right in Opera and Netscape on a Mac.
